ITR US Embassy in Manila

[MisaMisa27 0]

Hi People,

I'm so desperate right now. T_T My problem is that on my last year's ITR it shows I've earned 10,000 from August 2012 because I started working August, I've heard from a friend that there are a lot of cases where they deny it because it is below the poverty guideline. So I would like an opinion from past experiences whether to go with it or not? Or if there are ways to go through and still pass. My fiance is really down because he has to wait another 6 months until we can be together again and I would rather not wait for 6 months for this years ITR showing my complete earnings.

Will your income this year be above the guidelines? And are you at the same place?

Just have in your cover-letter when you submit your affidavit of support 2012 was 5 months of wages.

But I am sure others from your country will let you know how much they look at previous year I know every embassy is different on that point.

The consular officer also will look at you current sustained income. You will submit current paycheck stubs to prove your current sustained income. Is your 2013 income on a trajectory to put you above 125% of the poverty level? If so, you stand a good chance of approval.

If you do not have an employer letter, if not get that, your employer can show that you were hired last August and what you sustained income is now. Along with including current pay stubs. Really no need to wait 6 more months.

You need to meet and/or exceed the 125% poverty guidelines of the I-864P

Thank you so much everyone! Yes, my paystub now is showing I've earned above the poverty guidelines and I also have an employee letter. I was just worried they'll just look at the ITR and deny us. Thanks for your help everyone! I am so relieved.
